They are saying that this storm that will hit Northern California tonight will be the biggest storm in hundreds of years. We are all being advised to stay home tomorrow. I am going home early today to prepare the house for it. They are calling for five inches of rain across the entire central valley and the blizzards in the High Sierra should drop several feet of snow. Thank the maker for the water, but sheesh!

They are already forcibly moving people out of the lowlands of the Central Valley here in CA. They expect the Yuba River to massively overflow its banks tonight, and we have three days of rain coming on us now, and another three next week. I have not seen free sandbags available like this in the Valley for years. I think Sacramento may be flushed away out of the SF Bay Delta this weekend. It's sunny at the moment, but they say death looms large. I'll let you all know if I make it.

Been out one week due to snow, three feet around the school where I teach at, then we got hit by rain that froze and turned the entire area into an ice rink, and tonight the upper elevations are transitioning back to snow while the lower elevations flood, and I, again, am not working Monday, but hopefully will be back in the classroom on Tuesday...

I had 8-9 inches at my apartment of heavy wet snow out of the three storms that hit last week. Rain has melted most of that away.
